Fallout 5 Wishlist: 8 Rumours We Want To Come True

8. A Spin-Off, Rather Than A True Sequel

While we know Obsidian isn't involved in creating the New Vegas 2 game all fans are craving, it's looking more and more likely that the next release in the Fallout series is going to be a spin-off, rather than a true sequel.

Developers at Bethesda have their hands full with development duties for the foreseeable future, with a mysterious unannounced original title and The Elder Scrolls VI on their slate before they even get around to thinking about Fallout 5. Assuming they're going to stick to a conservative schedule of four years between releases, then that means we might not get a Bethesda-helmed Fallout for potentially another ten years.

Obviously the publisher isn't going to let one of their hottest properties languish for that long though, and so it's more likely that they'll get another studio in to work on a spin-off in the same vein as New Vegas in the meantime.
